Yes, I've upgraded. You can tell what version you are running by logging into your admin panel and in the footer it will tell you. If your version is out of date, it will tell you that you need to upgrade.

It only tells you after you have upgraded to 2.1 or better, but you can see the version you are running in your footer.

I upgraded three blogs just last week and am hoping they don't find any further security leaks at least for another month. *sigh*

Go to http://techie-buzz.com/wordpress-plu...de-plugin.html and get the WordPress plugin that allows you to automatically upgrade your WordPress to the latest version without having to do any file transfers yourself (apart from copying the backup files that it makes for you).

I only just started my Blog a couple of days after the 2.3.2 release!! Lucky me huh? How easy is it to update when the updates are released?? I have never used Wordpress till now. It has been going beautifully for me though

I am very lazy when it comes to upgrades. I'd rather backup than mess the script .. had some very unpleasant "suprises" with vbulletin that just messed my skin and plugins after an upgrade and now I just keep my scripts not upgraded for a while. Till I have the time to play with upgrades and fixing the issues.

Not upgrading when there are security patches released is the worst possible thing you can do as it can make the entire server your site is hosted on vulnerable to attack. The last two WordPress updates have been security patches.
